What department should I visit at the hospital for a sprained waist?
Disease description:
The child isn't home. When I was standing on a stool to replace a broken light bulb, I accidentally twisted my waist and suddenly couldn't move. I want to go to the hospital—could you tell me which department I should visit for a waist sprain?
Orthopedics or spinal surgery. Most cases of low back strain are soft tissue injuries, which can usually be relieved by bed rest. However, they may also be caused by conditions such as lumbar disc herniation or fractures. In such cases, a lumbar MRI should be performed to rule out these conditions and to clearly identify the specific location or severity. After appropriate examinations, a treatment plan can be developed based on the results, particularly according to the degree of disc damage.
